I started Doodle Bugs being a dealer for five major stationery chains.

Quickly, I started designing and printing myself and turned the main focus of the business to my own line of stationery.

My first sales were by word of mouth.

I also started selling on ebay- and was amazed at how quickly my business grew.

this is a full time job BUT I also manage to get up everyday and go to work as a first grade teacher.
Why, I simply love those little kiddos!
(It's not for the money thats for sure.)
I started the business as a dream to stay home and work.
But, when the time came- I love being a teacher just as much as I love stationery!
So, I teach simple things like the alphabet and numbers by day
and run a business at night and on the weekends.

Life is good.

I absolutely adore Kacey's Shop....

Along with custom stationary she sells these really cool custom address stamps

The thing that is cool about them is you don't have to put your address on them you can use them for other things like

A custom gift tag!! Wouldn't this be great to get one to stamp on your Christmas gifts? Such fun ideas for neighbor gifts! (plus it would save you loads of time)

I love her line of back to school goodies.... A little "bribery" for the teacher on the first day of school can't be a bad thing right?

Sooo adorable! The Teacher goodies are tempting me as an ex-teacher, but now as a REALTOR, I have to say my favorites are the New Address or Just Moved cards. They would make great gifts for my clients! Thank you! rossetta.hanna@gmail.com

I love the bird round stamp and the sitting owl notepad, oh, and all of the portfolios!!! I want one of every item in her store. I can't wait till we have playdates with friends so I can send cute notes on the mommy notepads!

Just looked through all the great stuff. My daughter was really loving the zebra post note holder. She has a name that is very uncommon and was thrilled that she could get it personalized, loving the name stamps too!

I had lots of trouble picking out my favorite thing from Kacey's website - because I LOVED everything. But since I can only pick one, I'm going with the Personalized Bag Tags. Great for backpacks, sport bags, luggage etc. Thanks for the opportunity to win a gift certificate.

My baby boy is turning 5 in 1.5 mos. With that said, I would snatch up some cute cupcake tags for his party. Then, since he's starting kindegarten, I would add in a post-it note holder (not sure which one, they're all so cute!) for his teacher. Wish me luck!

What an absolutely wonderful shop!You say 'all you have to do...' How difficult can it be, to choose from all this cuteness?But, since I have made a lot of homemade jam lately, I would definitely go for the Stacked Bowls Kitchen Stickers.But then, I think the Kid Thank You Notes are so very much fun too.And ...Beautiful, all of it!!!

Wow I was so impressed with all of your items! I have to say the address labels were my first choice! I can see myself using those and others asking where did i get the from! Hope Im the lucky winner!!

Love the calling cards- I'm always rushing as we run out the door to put a tag on birthday presents for all of the kid parties we have to go to! And still need a new address stamp for our home we moved into a year ago!
